2600k @ 4.4. Keep waiting for something worthwhile to upgrade to, but it still rocks every game I play.

Core i3-2100 (2 Cores with HyperThreading, up to 3100 Mhz, 3MB L3 Cache) + 8GB of 1333 Mhz DDR3, runs Crysis 3 at 20-30 FPS at lowest settings with a nVidia GT 430 :) soon updating to i5 2500K (4 Cores without HyperThreading, up to 3700 Mhz, 6 MB L3 Cache)

Exactly the same here - 2600k @ 4.4. But I'm doing a system rebuild soon-ish, and will likely go with the Broadwell-E 10 core. I like having a CPU that lasts for a while, and the 2600k has really been a gem!
